An Unsatisfactory Physician.
From the Dakota. Bell.

Several years a young doctor named Mabee
came ont from the East and settled in q small
Dakota town to practice his profession. He had
d diploma from one OF the best medical schools
with him in heavy block tin tube. He got but
little to do. Most of the practice was monop-
olized by man named Daggett, who had been
located at the place some time. Daggett did
not follow any regularly recognized school of
medicine, but pinned his faith to q poultice
made on the hide side of the skin of black
cat killed in the dark of the moon" Mabee was
at last himself taken sick He got quite low
ana finally called in DR., Daggett. One day after
re had recovered he was waited on by a COM
mittee of the citizens headed by the Mayor, who
broke the ice by remarking

Modern Battles in Which a Great
Number of Men Were Killed.

From the Louisville Courier-JOMnGt
1t is not uninteresting 20 state what have been
the bloodiest battles of the last 100 years, that
is, to compute the percentage of loss to the
numbers engaged. Within the allotted time the
Napoleonic battles come first, The battle of
Lodi, Bonapartes first brilliant success. was
simply the daring passage of brigade, and does
not enter into the computation Arcola was the
most sanguinary struggle of the Italian cam
paign The forces engaged numbered about
10000, and the loss about y 900, or about 35
per cent At Rivoli there were $4,000 men en-
gagged, and the loss was 10000, but 10000 of
these consisted OF Austrians who surrendered TO
Napoleon, so that the real loss was only % per
cent.
After Bonaparte's return from Egypt he
fought the battle of Marengo. In its results this
was one of the most momentous engagements IN
history, but all accounts agree that it was the
worst planned and worst fought of all Bona
parties victories There were 10000 men en-
gagged, and the loss was II 900, or about p per
cent At the battle Of Austerlitz, which by
many is considered Napoleon's most brilliant
victory, the French and Austro- Russian armies
numbered 100000 men, and the loss was 10000,
or about IL per cent. At Jewa- AuerStadt there
were 325. 900 men engaged and the loss was 40,
900, or about II per cent. At Borodino there
were 10000 men in battle, and 10000 were
killed and wounded, amounting to more than AZ
per cent. At LeipSic there were 100000 men in
the battle, which lasted three days, and the loss
was 10, 600, or - per cent. At Waterloo 10000
men were engaged, and the loss 10000, or
2S per cent. In the Crlmean war there were
l25, 900 men at the b tile of Inkerman, and
the casualties amounted to %, 00) or 20 per cent
At Magenta there were 225 900 men: the loss was
IL per cent. or about $4,000. AT Solferino there
were 10000, and the loss was 10000, or 16 per
cent At Sodowa the hostile forces numbered
10, 900, and 10000, or IS per cent. were killed
and wounded. At Giravelotte there were $4,000
men in the encount N, of whom IS 600 Aor about
5 per cent were killed and wounded. At Shiloh
the armies numbered 10000, and the loss was
10000, or one-third At Fredericksburg there
were $50, 900, and the loss was 10000 II per
cent At Antietam there were $50, 900. and the
loss was 5000 or about 10 per cent? At Chcka-
manga there were 105 900, and the loss 30
600, or 20 per cent. At Charlottesville there
were $50 900, ana the loss was $1,000, or % per
cent At Gettysburg there were 100000, and the
loss amounted to $1,000, or 80 per cent. Thus
lest battle of modern times, with Gettysburg in
the second place.

A New Time Table.

We acknowledge the receipt of marked
copy of The Worlds Advance Thought, a
newspaper published in Salem, Oregon, and
devoted to Second Adventism. 1t is filed
with articles and communications on the
subject of manifestations, which, it is ar
gued, show that the second coming of the
Messiah is near at hand. 1t is claimed that
"a wave" of such manifestations is now
sweeping over the land, and is plainly dis
cernible to those who believe in the Second
Advent doctrine. 1t is now nearly half
century since the Millerites set a day for the
great event, and in order to be ready,
many of them gave away their possessions.
They were very sorry afterward that they
had not arranged to take their possessions
with them, as il was rather awkward to start
life again with only thin ascension robe.
1t is probable that the Oregon cranks will
have similar regrets if they do not heed the
lessons taught by the experience of the Mil
lerites. According to the Oregon paper all
mankind without regard to race or creed,
are called ON to unite in soul-communion on
the 9th of each month, and in order to
have the praying done simultaneously, the
pap> also prints what it calls THE Worlds
Soul Communion Time Table," standard

the rorld, with corresponding time at
tached. Savannah's commune hour is PAS
p. m. Atlanta is not on the list, from which
it would appear that it is either not one OF
the powerful citities of the world or that its
inhabitants just now have no time for soul
communion.
